FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Wednesday 05/07/03
DRALA: YOGA GROOVES
Record store shelves are lined with CDs designed for yoga, but few of them are created by actual yoga practitioners and fewer still by musicians with the credentials of Drala. Drala is David Nichtern and Steve Gorn. Nichtern is a noted composer and guitarist best known for writing the Maria Muldaur hit "Midnight at the Oasis." Steve Gorn has lent his serene bansuri flute sounds to everyone from Paul Simon to percussionist Glen Velez. As Drala, they sculpt a modal, meditative sound. In David Nichtern's Manhattan studio, Drala unfolds the methods of their music designed for movement on their self-titled debut and a new collection called Om Yoga-Mix (Dharma Moon).

JASON RUBENSTEIN: SOUNDINGS AT 3AM
Jason Rubenstein is a journeyman musician who has recorded under his own name and as Tone Cluster and 3AM. Working out of a bedroom studio in his apartment, Jason mixes a jazz musician's sense of improvisation with and electronic composers sense of sound painting. His music has been picked up by TV shows like ER, but you're unlikely to hear him or find his records. He's recorded on small labels and his most ambitious release, 3AM is only an MP3. We travel to the home of Jason Rubenstein and hear about his music between morning and night.

Friday 05/09/03
RED SHIFT MANTRA: THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAGIC KINGDOM
In Orlando, Florida, there's a group who take the spirit of Disney World and warp it into surreal landscapes. Red Shift Mantra is a gathering of young musicians who orchestrate ambient landscapes, but unlike most ambient bands, they play much of their music live. A collective of violin, flute, piano, bass, keyboards, voice and percussion, Red Shift Mantra channels inspirations that range from Star Trek to Carl Sagan, Genesis to Tangerine Dream on their debut album, DEEP FIELD IMAGE. We gather RSM together for a journey into sound.
